An Adventure Mr.. Nielsen had While
yIsltlag In Wonderland
New York Herald.
r. Nelson, Royal Navy, of the North
ern squadron Of the Imperial Chinese
navy, Is In the city, and Is stopping at
the Occidental hotel. Mr.. Nelson has
been doing this country for thu past few
months, and among other points Of IN
terest he visited the Yellowstone ma
tiOnRl park. At that point the Royal
Navy representative had an experience
which causes the cold perspiretion to
Ooze from every pore In his body when
he thinks oft. But he takes much IN
terest IN relating it to those who VIII
give him audience. He had been In the
park several days, accompanied by some
friends, and was at the Yellowstone lake,
located IN the ruggedest portion of the
park, where bears, antelope and noun
tain lions go to drink. The thermome-
ter was 10 degrees IN the shade, and
when the party came to tho lake, Nelson
could not be persuaded from taking a
bath. Such a thing as bathing IN yell
lOWstOnF lake was never heard of, but
Nelson was going to do it If he was to
be the first. As he threw OF his clothes
his friends retired to some other point
of interest, looking for specimens. Mel
son was preparing for a plunge when he
spied big silver-tip bear coming leis-
urely toward him from behind a big
bowIder. He could not return to the
party in his condition, nor did he like
the idea of sacrificing himself to the ap-
petite Of bruin. The bear was approach
ing by the rosd, shutting out the only
avenue he could escape from the place
in which he stood. He gave a wild
scream, which could be heard for miles,
and plunged into the ice cold water
The change from temperature Of lie
/ in the shade to almost zero was too much
and he scrambled wildly to the shore tc
find the bear standing only few yards
from his clothes with s lprised look on
its face. He grabbed several articles Of
his dress, and shaking them at the bear
/ frightened it away. It was not hungry
or Mr.. Nelson would have made a delic-
ious repast. His gentleman and lady
friends heard his scream, and came uL
in time to witness the departure of bruir
and Nelson fall in a fainting condition
to the warm alkai earth. The bear was
afterwRrd shot, and Nelson paid big
money for the hide, which he still re,
tains.

Atehison Patriot: The town Of Nc
Cune Kansas was In q tremor of excite
msnt recently, and crowds gathered In
and about the school house in which the
children OF McOune's citizens ara edu-
Gated, but which then harbOred the dead
body OF little Mamie Livsy, a girl of
twelve years, who was shot down and
killed by a playmate as the children
were passing out to their dinner at u
O'Clock. The boy, whose name Is Wat
son, Is the same age as the little girl,
and had playfully threatened her life
during the morning. He had taken his
fathers revolver with him to school and
was exhibiting it to the children at re-
cess. Among others who handled the
revolver was the little girl, never suspect
ing that it was loaded. Nor did the boy
know there were cartridges in the re-
volyer. AS the children were passing
IN two rows, the boys out of one door
and the girls out Of the other, little Wat
son pointed the revolver at the girl,
snapped it and the bullet hit its fair ain
In the heart. The girl fell dead and IN
the intense excitement which followed
the boy lied to the woods.

AWAY FROM HOME.
How the Blaine Party Enjoy Themselve.
in Beautiful scotland.

CHICAGO, July -.
A cable to the News from the Bridge of
Earn, Scotland, says: 1t was very quiet at
Kilgraston, Monday. Black clouds hung
low over Shorth earn, rendering out of door
sports hazardous. Mr.. Blaine, excepting tw o
hours of morning exercise, kept close to the
house. He received another big consignment
of his favorite American newspaper and spent
the rest of the day digesting them and writ
ing letters. The four in.hand was ordered
up for eight O'clock. Tuesday, to drive 80
miles in Kinghorn, where Mr.. Carnegie will
participate in the ceremonies of laying the
corner stone of Alexander's monument. MI
Carnegie is going to make the most of all
the pleasure. He has ordered II additional
roadsters, the very best to be had for the
money in Edinburg, which will complete his
stable of three changes. This means that
the Carnegies will thoroughly do the High
lands and it is likely that Mr.. Blaine will
accompany them. Information about Mr..
Biaines plans is extremely precious now.
James G. Blaine and Andrew Carnegie at
tended the unveiling at Duntermline, today,
of the monument of Alexander III, who
regned in Scotland from l249 to 1856. They
drove to the spot in four horse coach and
were well received.
Mr.. Blaine delivered an address. He said
at first thought, the aspect presented by an
American engaged in the ceremony of raising
monument to King, seemed to be out Of
place, but the harm done was not so serious
considering that King Alexander lived before
America was discovered. America, Mr.
Blaine added, sympathized with Scotland in
all the great things she had done, in both
literature and art, for the promotion of the
people.

CRUSHED UNDER A DERRICK.
Particulars of Fatal Accident at Wat.

WATERvILLE, July 10.
About four o'clock, Monday afternoon, as

erville, preparatory to putting in new ones

derrick broke and let the derrick down, al
most instantly killing one man named Henry
Gensro, and dangerously injuring Antonio
De Tella.

account of the accident: A part OF the crew
the old wheel and shatting in the wheel pits.

bottom of the pit which was bolted to the
ledge. The plank refused to come, but the
men on the wiudlass kept on turning, when
suddenly the guy gave away letting the der
rick down on the drilling crew. 1t struck
the man killed fairly on the head. crushing
him down beneath it, 1t required the whole
crew to lift the derrick from his body. One
other workman was badly cut about the
head. They were both Italians. The one
killed came from Boston and bis body was
taken into charge by his fellow workmen and
sent to Boston on Monday nights Pullman.

MISSING CHILDREN.
Five Anxious Parents Interview the Gyp.
>ies at Cumberland.
PoRILANp. July 10.

PORTLAND. July 10.
The passage of band of gypsies through
this section of the State, recently, and the
exciting rumors of white child in captivity
which has followed their advsnt into towns
wherever they have visited, has been widely
reported.
Patrick Welch of So High street, Nashua,
n. saw the story as it was reported in one
of the papers, and came here to investigate
the matter.
Some time in May last he lost a child, and
belived from the description given through
the press that the white child with the gypsy
band might prove TO be the missing one.
He arrived here Monday, engaged con
veyance, and taking Cape Elizabeth man
along as guide, started in pursuit.
The gypsies were tracked to Cumberland
and at last to their encampment on a by-road
in that township. They were at first inclined
to be ugly, but finally allowed Mr.. Welch to
see the child. Mr.. Welch said that the re-
semblance to his little one is very striking,
but it is not his.
1t is stated by inhabitants of Cumberland,
that no less than five persons have visited the
cnmp and demanded to see the child, hoping
it might prove theirs.
